The black panther was rescued by a girl with long side bangs that covered half of her face. Together they left the secret room through a secret passage and came to the depths of a swampy cave.
"Liu Meichan... I'm really sorry. I didn't expect you to come here to save me when there's not enough time." Black Panther said with an apologetic look.
"You have paid too much for me. It doesn't matter what my face looks like. All I can do is accept the fact." Liu Meichan lowered her head sadly. She was very afraid of facing another version of herself. , but there is nothing you can do.
"I won't give up. There must be a way to cure the poison on your face!" Black Panther said firmly.
"But you have tried many methods. You even searched for elixirs from various tribes to refine the antidote for me, but it still has no effect. Enough is enough. You have done enough." Liu Meichan kept trying to persuade Black Panther to give up, but Black Panther Shaked his head.
"No, if I give up, you will become a real witch and be used as a puppet by the lizard people. I will never allow this to happen."
"But stealing all the time is not an option. Don't you think you'll miss it this time?"
Liu Meichan comforted the black panther with a worried look on her face and used magic to heal it.
"Haha, I didn't expect you to have mastered the healing magic." After the Black Panther was treated by Liu Meichan's magic, his wounds began to heal slowly.
"Although I mainly learned poison, I also learned a little about healing just in case." Liu Meichan thought that Black Panther might miss one day, so she had the idea of learning healing magic.
"Why were you beaten so badly? What happened?"
At this time, a half-man, half-animal lizard man approached the injured black panther quickly and handed him the elixir.
The lizard man in front of me was nearly two meters tall, with a pair of big eyes. His whole body was covered with spots that made his scalp feel numb just looking at him. His palms only had three fingers.
It walks upright like humans, and has a long tail, the end of which is like a syringe, but its strong arms look extremely strong and can easily overturn huge rocks. Its slender legs show that it runs very quickly and can walk in the swamp as fast as flying, so it is not that easy to catch it.
The most surprising thing is that it can actually open its mouth to communicate with Liu Meichan without using telepathy.
"I'm really sorry, Lizard King. I met three very annoying humans, so I made a mistake." After the Black Panther took the elixir, the wounds on his body had completely disappeared.
"Thank you, King Lizard." Black Panther and Liu Meichan thanked the lizard man one after another.
"A mere human can actually make you miss. Are you underestimating the enemy?" the lizard man asked.
"I had already thought up a perfect plan to frame them so that they would be mistaken for thieves and arrested. But unexpectedly, a human took advantage of my confrontation loophole and framed me."
"Oh? There are actually such smart humans." The lizard man said with a surprised look on his face.
"Yes, this human being is really cunning."
"Now that our whereabouts have been exposed, we have no choice but to change territory and continue implementing our plan."
"Let's talk about changing the territory later. For now, stay in the mountains near the swamp and catch the living creatures along the way to make medicine for me." The lizard man thought for a while and thought it would be better to capture the three humans. Coming back to refine medicine is also a good choice.
"I understand, Lizard King." Black Panther nodded.
But Liu Meichan's expression was very solemn. She didn't agree with the lizard man's approach but was helpless.
"You have to behave well this time. It's best to capture those three humans alive. Don't fail again." The lizard man stared at the black panther with his ferocious big eyes, and his strong murderous aura scared the black panther. Have to tremble.
"Don't worry, Lizard King, we will definitely get things done."
"That's the best!"
After the lizardmen left, only Black Panther and Liu Meichan remained in the swamp.
"Damn lizard man, one day I will find a way and I won't need to use your elixir to suppress the poison for her." After the lizard man left, the black panther said with great regret and clenched his fists.
"I'm sorry for causing you to do so many bad things in order to heal me."
"Originally, in order to gain the trust of the Ice Kirin clan, I stole their sacred objects and found a few scapegoats to put on a good show of taking away the stolen goods. I didn't expect that at such a critical time, I would meet an opponent who was better at acting than me. "The Black Panther thought of Zhu Chiyun's debating ability, which was really incredible.
"Did you steal so many things just to build a good relationship with the Ice Qilin clan?" Liu Meichan asked.
"Yes, as long as you help Brother Ice Kirin find the holy objects, you can gain their trust. Once you gain their trust, you can ask them to cure the poison on your face. Brother Ice Kirin is more reliable than this ruthless lizard man. More." The Black Panther remembered that the Lizard Man initially only asked it to steal some elixirs to detoxify Liu Meichan, and now asked it to block the road and hijack the living creatures passing through the swamp. This made the Black Panther feel very dissatisfied from the bottom of its heart. It believed that the Lizard Man must have question.
Therefore, the Black Panther always thought about not relying on the lizard people and looking for other ways to treat Liu Meichan. One of the ways was to establish a relationship with the Ice Qilin Lord, but it failed due to the intervention of Zhu Chiyun and others. It also regretted that it had tried to treat Liu Meichan in the first place. If Zhu Chiyun and others had not chosen to be the scapegoats, things would not have become so complicated.
"That's enough. You've done too much. I don't want anyone to die trying to cure the poison on my face." Liu Meichan said with tears streaming down her face. She knew that she looked like a monster. It was indeed scary, but sacrificing some innocent lives to cure the poison on her face would only make her feel more painful.
"This is the last pill that the lizard man gave me to suppress the poison. Take it first, and I will think of a way."
"Okay, but you can no longer take risks alone. I have to be by your side to help you."
"Okay, but if you have to, you have to obey the lizard man's request and capture the living creature to him."
"Let's not give up. There must be another way. If there is no other way, it doesn't matter if half of my face is covered with sores." Liu Meichan thought for a moment, and instead of sacrificing innocent lives for her own sake, it would be better to sacrifice hers. Own.
"I know you are kind, but I still want to save you. No matter what, I will not give up on you, and I hope you will not give up on yourself."
"But I..." Liu Meichan lowered her head in confusion. She remembered that she had been protected by this black panther since she accidentally came to this other world. The black panther also taught her to use telepathy to communicate with the creatures here. .
It was accidentally infected with an unknown poison that turned half of her face into a monster-like face, causing Black Panther to run around looking for an antidote for her.
But Black Panther knew that the current antidote could only suppress the poison in her body. If the poison successfully invaded her body, she didn't know what she would become.
